“If you received a ticket in Vermont for running a red light, expect it to impact your
car insurance
rates. In most states, running a red light will have points attached to it. The State of Vermont also adds two points to your license from this violation.
When you have tickets on your driving record or points attached to your license, your car insurance will be higher. A car insurance company will consider you higher risk than someone with a
clean driving record
.
If your insurance isn’t currently up for renewal, you may not see an increase right away. Most insurance companies don’t rerate policies until their renewal period.
If you notice a significant increase, you also have the option to compare rates with other companies. That’s when
